Whaam! Splat! Bang! Lichtenstein Hits Chicago's Art Institute

WHAAM! Splat! Bang! Its a big summer for Chicago as the groundbreaking retrospective of the iconic Pop artist, Roy Lichtenstein, opens at The Art Institute of Chicago this week through September 3. Spearheaded by James Rondeau, the Frances and Thomas Dittmer Chair and Curator, Department of Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago, who is said to have spent days foraging through the artist's house in Long Island with the permission of Dorothy Lichtenstein searching for just the right pieces, as well as seeking out pieces from other museum collections around the world including his own, the exhibition is truly the first of its kind or scale to highlight the artist. After September the exhibition will travel to the National Gallery in Washington, DC., theTate Modern in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
